I have been working internet chat rooms since 1998, at Nothing fancy. The application was freely available. I recently had to create some essential modifications: putting bad term filters and computerized 'stopping' (ejection from the rooms).
You think until you read what unknown, nasty teenagers tell fifteen-year-old women, free speech is a good thing. It is perhaps not Shakespeare, I want to tell you...
My answer would be: yes, with skills.
I have been running internet forums since 1998, at Nothing fancy. The program was freely available. I recently had to make some crucial modifications: putting poor term filters and automatic 'throwing' (ejection from the rooms).
You think until you read what unknown, nasty teenagers say to fifteen-year-old girls, free speech is a good thing. It's maybe not Shakespeare, let me inform you that.
That is yet another key point: anonymity. A pillar of the free speech debate. The people and let freedom fighters have their say! Except it is much more likely a sociopath pretending to be sixteen and making young girls cry along with his sickening profanity.
Free from all mors, and secure from physical retribution, we see the contents of the subconscious serve forth unrestrained. And a hellish supply of psychic sewage it's.
This is often combated by poor word filters and having human moderators. The most crucial shield of all, I think, is knowledge. "Do not simply take candy from strangers", "You do not need drugs until you are ill", and now: "Do not bandy words with trolls" other internet users were deliberately upset by people who with sexy language).
Most forums now have an 'dismiss' purpose. It's a bit just like the hooligan in the street: he's *looking* for a reaction; if he is ignored by you, it is infuriating. To him. You slide on by, figuratively talking, while he rants on unheard.
Parents must simply take a pursuit in what their children are doing on line. See if you can uncover what service they have joined, and link up yourself; get a taste of it. Teens define themselves as adults-to-be by if you are conservative choosing a different way to their parents:, they'll attempt liberalism, and vice-versa.
For that reason, you should not attempt to participate in making use of their activities being an equal; only keep informed.
They may gripe, but privately they are glad you care. A parent who allows their child do whatever they want offers them no standard to measure themselves against.
Yet another problem with simple boards is that you can produce an intense relationship with some body you can not see and haven't met in the flesh; there is a fantasy element. Your ideas pour forth freely, you think you have met a soul mates. They may be even met by you, and the impression continues...
... until you eventually appreciate he or she is really a individual in the end, and breaks wind like everyone else.
There is hope, however. With the development of inexpensive digital video cameras, internet telephony and broadband, people is going to be less able to hide: "What do you mean, you're afraid?
